Superintendent Dr. Bennett told the board the district discovered and corrected a data-entry error in the proposed millage information tied to the Truth in Millage (TRIM) process.
Dr. Bennett said the correction was made the morning of the meeting and that the district will open the final budget hearing as scheduled on 09/15/2026 and immediately recess the TRIM portion to complete required corrections and republish the corrected notices, including the budget summary and notice of proposed tax increase. He said the continued public hearing is anticipated to reconvene on 09/21/2026 so the public may participate with accurate information.
